You know the song - "In Birmingham they love the governor." They love OUR governor - who crapped on all Vol fans.

Have to agree with you, all reports out of Knoxville indicate this was strong-armed by Haslams who didn't want Blackburn/Fulmer.
Got a link?
In this forum if you have no link it didn't happen.

The move left employees in both athletic departments stunned. Currie had recently been linked to athletic director openings at Arizona and Florida, but both looked elsewhere. Meanwhile, former Tennessee football coach Phillip Fulmer had emerged as the favorite to replace Dave Hart as the athletic director with Chattanooga’s David Blackburn believed to be another option
The Volunteers hired a search firm and appointed a six-person hiring committee, which included Peyton Manning, to help select the new AD. A source with knowledge of the search said that committee had zeroed in on Fulmer, the top choice among fans and boosters. But Davenport changed course this week, the source said, and decided to make her own selection. Her first call went to Currie. When that conversation went well, she flew to Manhattan and offered him the job Tuesday morning.

As for Snyder, he recommended Kansas State add equestrian as a women’s sport because his daughter was a rider. Currie came in, dumped equestrian and added women’s soccer.
This seems strange to me. Unless there were just nowhere near enough girls trying to join the equestrian team at KSU I have no idea why you would cut a program that is essentially paid for by the riders for one the school would have to direct more funds to.

In all seriousness, Jimmy needs to stay away from running football teams. He's managing us like he's managing the fricking Browns.
Yes, whoever is pulling the strings (all signs point to the Haslams) is doing a terrible job.

One of the first people he thanked yesterday was Jim Haslam. If it weren't for Haslam we would have Blackburn/Fulmer. The overwhelming fan/former player/etc support was for those two. There's zero chance Davenport throws a curveball like that on her own.

Brice and Hubbs both alluded that Blackburn was trending downward prior to this whole thing breaking out, and that people he thought were in his court were not.
